PLANNING INSTALLATION

When installing the ventilation fan in a new construction site, install the main body of the fan and ductwork

during the rough-in construction of the building. The grille should be installed after the finished ceiling is in

place. Use the dimensions provided in this manual to determine the required hole size for the ceiling.

The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the airflow, noise and energy-

use of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible for best performance and avoid installing the

fan with smaller ducts than specified in this manual. Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss and

inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve their rated airflow. Do not install the

ventilation fan in areas where the ductwork will require configurations as shown in Fig. 1 below.

Recommended installation includes insulating around ductwork and the fan housing to minimize heat loss (see

Fig. 2 above). Seal all gaps around the housing with caulk or other similar material to inhibit air leakage to the

exterior of the thermal envelope of the building. Rigid sheet metal duct and the shortest path to the outside

will minimize static pressure losses and promote adequate air flow.

FAN HOUSING INSTALLATION (DIRECT JOIST MOUNTING OR SUSPENSION BRACKET JOIST MOUNTING)

 Check the area above installation location to be sure that:

a. Ductwork can be run and there is sufficient area for proper ventilation;

b. Wiring can be run to the planned location (wires from the power supply to the unit should not be

smaller than size 14 AWG);

c. There will be access to ductwork and wiring for inspection and future maintenance;

d. No wiring or other obstructions will interfere with installation.

For installation in existing construction:

 Installing the fan housing in an existing building requires access (attic or crawl space) in the planned

installation location above the existing ductwork and wiring.

 Inspect existing ductwork and wiring before proceeding with installation.

Step 1: Select the location for your fan in the ceiling.

For optimal performance, plan for the shortest

possible duct with the fewest elbows.

When positioning fan housing for installation, flange

of housing must be level with bottom of joist, or no

lower than the finished ceiling.

Step 2:

Direct Joist-Mount: Slide suspension brackets (Part

#7) into slots in the fan housing. Using wood screws

(Part #4), secure housing flange to joist, then secure

suspension brackets to joist on other side. If spacing

between joists is greater than 16”, add extension

brackets (Part #8, see diagram right).

Suspension Bracket-Mount: Slide suspension

brackets (Part #7) into the fan housing. If spacing

between joists is greater than 16”, use extension

brackets (Part #8). Secure brackets to joists on both

sides using wood screws (Part #4).

For Customer Support please email [email protected], or call (888)930-8528. Please provide the bath fan model number found

on the front of this manual when contacting Customer Support.

Steps 3-9 All Installations:

Step 3: To secure brackets to fan housing, insert

machine screws (Part #5). Tighten machine screws to

prevent housing vibration while fan is in operation.

Step 4: Install a 4-in. circular duct and secure to

housing with foil duct tape or clamp.

Step 5: Disconnect the power supply before

proceeding with Step 5. Run 120V 60Hz house

wiring (with ground) from wall switches to fan

location. Remove junction box cover and, using wire

nuts, connect house wires to unit wires. Refer to

Wiring Diagram on page 4.

 Green wires are ground wires. House ground may

be green or bare.

 White wires are neutral. They carry power back

to the service panel.

 Black wires are hot. They carry power from the

panel to the fan.

Step 6: Finish ceiling. Housing rim should overlap the

ceiling board and be visible from the room below.

Step 7: Before attaching grille (Part #2) to housing,

plug quick connector (a) on grille into fan housing

receptacle. Position the grille on fan housing, and

line up grille and housing center hole.

For Customer Support please email [email protected], or call (888)930-8528. Please provide the bath fan model number found

on the front of this manual when contacting Customer Support.

Step 8: Use hardware (Part #9) to secure grille to the

fan housing, (a) place lock nut over center hole on

grille, and (b) insert the long bolt

and tighten.

Step 9: Attach shade (Part #3) using decorative

plate and nut (Part #9).

CLEANING THE VENTILATION FAN

Cleaning the unit periodically is advisable since dust, molds, grease, and other dirt particles can affect the

conductivity of the air in the unit.

1) Clean glass shade with a soft towel or paper towels and glass cleaner (avoid harsh detergent).

2) Clean inside of unit with a vacuum cleaner. Do not use liquid cleaner as the motor should not come in

contact with any liquid.

3) Put the grille back in place.
